Hey There,
Is it just me, or has this been the longest month ever? And I’ve still got another week until pay day. I thought my monthly favourites may take a hit, due to me currently being in ‘Shoppers Rehab‘, and more or less sticking with the old, and not buying any new. However, what has been a pleasant little surprise during this rather difficult spending ‘cut’, is that I have rediscovered some of my old favourites, and actually made my way through my box of ‘blogging’ goodies, (Finally).
1. Considering this has now featured on my blog three times this January, it is no surprise that Make Up Revolution’s Welcome To The Pleasure Dome Palette made it to the top of my January favourites. The colours are beautifully pigmented, and there is 18 to choose from and to get playful with.
2. I first tried Benefit’s Hello Flawless foundation, when I was lucky enough to go to the launch of their ‘Stay Flawless Primer‘, and its never let me down. I’ve been using it daily, and just got my hands on another one. I love the fact that it has great coverage but doesn’t clog the skin at all.
3. If you read my first ‘Healthy Edit‘ post, at the start of January, you will know that I am currently on a healthy lifestyle change, which involves cutting a lot of the ‘crap’ out, including unnecessary sugars, (Unfortunately that includes chocolate). One of the books getting me through this change is Honestly, Healthy, Food for Life by Natasha Corrett. It is quite vegan based, so I adapt a lot of the recipes and just add my meat in, but even down to my sweet cravings, this book has it covered, and it explains the nutritional benefits.
4. Sometimes boyfriends get it right, and in this case my one earned himself some brownie points, by surprising me with this Moroccan Argan Oil Yankee Candle. I say surprise, he tried, but for some reason the DPD sent me a text to tell me it was on its way. Its the thought that counts, and it smells lovely.
5. I’ve never really been one to wear watches, but I’ve always wanted one, normally the expensive bling ones, but in 2014 I began a little obsession with Olivia Burton Watches. I think it was the pastel colours that got me. SO you can imagine my excitement opening this up on Christmas day, and it has barely left my arm.
6. And finally it had to be Bobbi Browns Bronze Glow, the most beautiful high lighting powder, I have ever come across. And it even doubles up as a eye shadow.
What were your favourites this month?
Lots of love,
